Carbon dioxide resistant shaker is an instrument designed for biological laboratories, mainly used in fields such as cell culture, microbiological research, molecular biology experiments, and biochemical reactions. It can operate stably in an environment containing a certain concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and provide continuous and uniform oscillation to promote oxygen exchange and nutrient mixing in liquid media, thereby facilitating cell growth and reproduction.
The carbon dioxide resistant shaker achieves its function through the following mechanism:
Gas control: Equipped with a built-in CO ₂ sensor and controller, it can accurately adjust the CO ₂ concentration inside the incubator (usually maintained at 2-10%) to maintain the pH stability of the culture medium.
Oscillatory system: driven by an electric motor, providing reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction (linear or circular), promoting oxygen exchange and nutrient mixing in the liquid medium.
Environmental adaptability: The equipment is designed to withstand high temperatures, high humidity, and CO ₂ acidic environments, ensuring long-term stable operation in the CO ₂ incubator.
Carbon dioxide resistant shaker is widely used in the following fields:
Cell culture: Cultivate animal or plant somatic cells, simulate the internal microenvironment, and promote cell growth and reproduction. Suitable for suspension cell culture, tissue engineering, and stem cell research.
Microbiological research: Cultivate and ferment microorganisms (such as yeast and mold) to produce enzymes, antibiotics, organic acids, and other biological products. Used for bacterial cultivation, hybridization, and biochemical reactions.
Molecular Biology and Enzyme Engineering: Providing a stable oscillation environment to promote enzymatic reactions and DNA hybridization experiments.
Food and Environmental Protection: Food Fermentation and Microbial Cultivation. Wastewater treatment and pollution control involve cultivating microorganisms to degrade organic matter and purify water quality.
Agricultural and botanical research: plant tissue and cell culture, research on plant reproduction, genetic engineering, and biotechnology. Seed germination, seedling cultivation experiments, and plant cultivation.
Maintenance and upkeep:
Regularly clean and inspect equipment, including cleaning the interior, replacing filters, calibrating thermometers and CO ₂ detectors, etc.
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance to extend equipment life and ensure performance.
